TONIGHT

The buzz around massive climate voter turnout this election is bigger than ever, and we’re beyond excited for you to join us tonight at 8:30pm Eastern for our webcast with Al Gore to turn it up yet another notch.

Vice President Gore will speak about the role of young people in RePowering America and why it’s so important that we get as many climate voters as possible to turn out on November 4th at our country’s most important battle ground: the ballot box.

The webcast feed will go live at 8pm Eastern - 30 minutes before Mr. Gore begins speaking - so that if you are hosting a viewing party you will be able to set up and test your equipment. Again, the web address for the webcast will be:

Now, we’ve written a lot of emails and blog posts this week about the webcast with Mr. Gore and about our call to get out the climate vote over the next six days - and it’s been incredible to see your response.

Our field teams have been spreading the word on the ground at campuses nationwide, and our great friends and partners like the Alliance for Climate Protection, 1Sky, and Green for All have been doing the same on all fronts.

It’s been a truly extraordinary week, and the best is yet to come! In the midst of the excitement though, we also want to ensure the reason for it is not lost:

We need our elected officials to know there are millions of people for whom green jobs, a clean energy economy, and the securing of our climate is a top priority.

We’re so very thankful you’ll be joining us to make sure they know just that.

Al Gore to Call on Youth to Vote, Hold Leaders Accountable
for Campaign Promises on Clean Energy
Live webcast October 29 to activate students for national climate and get-out-the vote efforts

Menlo Park, CA – On Wednesday, October 29, Nobel laureate and former Vice President Al Gore will call on young people across the country to get out the vote and hold elected leaders accountable for climate change and clean energy campaign promises. His call to action will be broadcast via a live webcast, as thousands of students across the country begin a national get-out-the-vote effort.

The webcast, organized by Power Vote, a national non-partisan effort spearheaded by the Energy Action Coalition, which seeks to elevate the issue of climate change in the election, is co-sponsored by Gore’s Alliance for Climate Protection, whose “We” Campaign has enlisted some 1.6 million individuals committed to solving the climate crisis.

Power Vote will be kicking off six days of Get Out the (Power) Vote campaigning on October 29, leading up to Election Day. The group is asking young people to gather friends, classmates and local environmental and clean energy groups on campuses and in communities across the country to watch the webcast together, after which they will have the opportunity to plan local Getting Out the (Power) Vote efforts.

WHO: Energy Action Coalition and We Campaign
WHAT: Power Vote live webcast featuring Al Gore
WHEN: Wednesday, October 29, 5 p.m. PST / 6 p.m. MST / 7 p.m. CST / 8 p.m. EST
